A former Texas A&M linebacker delivered the first viral moment of the nation's newest football league.
During the Alliance of American Football's inaugural weekend, Shaan Washington made a play that quickly made the rounds on the internet. In the San Antonio Commanders' opening game against the San Diego Fleet, the recent A&M alum came unblocked on a weakside blitz and popped Fleet quarterback Mike Bercovici.
As of Sunday afternoon, the clip from the AAF's official Twitter feed was approaching three million views. Washington and the Commanders beat the Fleet 15-6 in the first AAF games for both franchises.
